2.4 FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 2.4.1 If tuition is charged, it must be paid by parents, legal guardian, or other relative. If a parent, guardian, or other relative secures a loan for payment of tuition, it must remain an obligation of the parent, guardian, or other relative to repay the principal and interest in full with no exceptions. Schools that charge tuition may administer school-based financial assistance programs for students who attend those schools. Financial assistance is defined as funds from various sources that are administered and provided by a school to students to pay or assist in paying costs directly related to their education at the school. Financial assistance must be totally unrelated to a student’s athletic interest, potential or performance.

2.4.2 School administered financial assistance provided by a school must be administered by the school; meaning that the school, through an established process that conforms to this policy, makes the final determination of the student who is to receive the assistance and the amount of assistance to be given. No student-athlete may accept financial assistance from any other person, business or organization unless it is received from one upon whom the student-athlete is naturally or legally dependent.

2.4.3 Criteria for Providing School-based Financial Assistance: Financial assistance must be based entirely on financial need. The amount of financial assistance for which a student is determined to qualify must meet the same guidelines of financial assistance which is provided to each and every student who qualifies for financial assistance. Financial assistance must be totally unrelated to a student’s athletic interest, potential or performance. Financial assistance based even partially on a student’s athletic interest, potential or performance shall be prohibited. In order to determine the basis for need, effective January 2015, all schools awarding financial aid shall use an LHSAA-recognized agency as approved by the Executive Committee. The use of any unapproved agency shall render the student ineligible.
